betterConsole for VS Code

betterConsole is a local-first console issue workspace for developers. The VS Code extension imports selected text or the active editor contents, groups repeated console issues, shows likely root causes, provides focused fix steps, opens sanitized solution searches, and copies clean Markdown debug reports.

Open the betterConsole icon in the VS Code Activity Bar to keep the console workspace available in the side bar while you edit. Use the UI, Backend, or Terminal selector before analyzing an editor or copied terminal output so reports, search queries, and local agent handoffs stay scoped to the kind of logs you imported. Use Start live to run the selected source command from the current workspace folder and stream only that workspace's logs into the side bar. betterConsole uses the active terminal only when VS Code reports that terminal is inside the current workspace; otherwise it opens a workspace-scoped betterConsole terminal. Configure separate commands with betterConsole.liveUiCommand, betterConsole.liveBackendCommand, and betterConsole.liveTerminalCommand when your project has distinct frontend, backend, or terminal workflows.
